My expectations were also very low and it exceeded them. The main guy was quite good but all the other characters are pretty dull so far, and the dialogue is clunky.I liked that they used splitscreen a lot, and they didn't feel the need to go massive with the plot or action scenes.I feel the mole stuff is too obvious CTU boss woman who got the medal will be the mole and dodgy looking guy who got tasered is innocent.

There was some seriously ropey acting in that episode, even by 24's standard. Still, my expectations were firmly in check so I did enjoy it somewhat. Really wish it wasn't another middle eastern terrorist threat mind you. Nice little mention of

Edit: That second episode was rough as strawberry float. Calling it now, the blue clock is going to change to orange as it gets closer to night time.

Anyone still watching this? I just watched episode 9 and am so bored with this. There's not enough story here to sustain the amount of episodes (It's 12 right?). They really should have done the break Jack out of prison story thread. Have new characters, a black lead, fine, but make the story actually interesting.

Every single character annoys the strawberry float out of me by how stupid they are.

24 got more over-the-top each season looking for ways to shock or surprise viewers and they had a chance to start afresh with Legacy. Instead, they're rehashing things we've seen many times before only executed much, much worse. The main character is alright but he suffers from not being Jack or Tony and there's little to make you actually care about him and those close to him.

Fox has canceled “24: Legacy,” the spinoff of the long-running espionage-action drama.

The network and studio 20th Century Fox Television are exploring future iterations of “24,” possibly as an anthology built around the real-time storytelling format of the original series. Fox said it was already at work with “24” producers on that model.

Fuxake. I didn't actually enjoy the series that much, but by the very end, I was thinking they'd done a decent job of getting all the pieces in place for a further series, with Jimmy Smits running for president and Eric Carter brought into CTU help defend him. Ie basically that they'd laid the groundwork for a true reboot, of Season One and the [kiefer voice]California Presidential Primary [/kiefer voice]

Semi related bump. We're going to see Keifer Sutherland and his band perform in bristol tonight in some little club. I'll be honest, I'm only going because there's a tiny chance I'll get to meet Jack Bauer

EXCLUSIVE: Fox is developing a potential new incarnation of its Emmy-winning drama series that would have a female lead and take the real-time format of the terrorism-themed original and apply it to a different arena, criminal justice.

Details about the premise are sketchy, but I hear that the potential new 24 series centers on a female prosecutor who uncovers a legal conspiracy and has to work against the clock to save a death row inmate facing imminent execution whom she had helped prosecute but may be innocent. I hear this is part of an anthological take on 24 that would tackle a new world with new characters each season.

However the 'new characters each season' is what they said about 24 season 1 but then changed their mind once it did well.

And heroes... and I'm sure other shows have promised it too. Executives always panic that starting with new characters will alienate viewers so they do the same thing every time; they create weak and flimsy plots to justify keeping characters in and it nearly always feels crap because of it. I'm still bitter about how badly heroes dropped off after a great first season.
